POLICIES & BYLAWS COMMITTEE:

Chair, Alma Hires stated that the Committee met immediately before this meeting and made the following decisions:

The Committee voted to accept for Board review the Code of Conduct and is recommending that it be distributed to all Board members.

The Committee also voted to reaffirm its previous vote to name the meeting room at the Robert W. Saunders, Sr. Public Library in honor of Dr. Walter L. Smith.

Dr. Hires commented that the Committee followed the procedure as written. By no means was there any intent to be discourteous to the Friends.
The Committee members felt that they knew enough about Dr. Smith and did not need any outside input. On two occasions the Committee sought assistance
rom the Friends regarding Matthew Gregory and Tony Garcia since the Committee knew very little about them. The Committee has not violated any policy
or procedure in the naming of the Saunders meeting room.

Mr. Jim Johnson would like to be appointed to the Policy and Bylaws Committee. Ms. Vickers welcomed Mr. Johnson to the Committee.

Ms. Cameron asked that when the Policy & Bylaws Committee reviews its Naming Policy that it consider adding the following statement: As a
courtesy a proposed name will be referred to any interested group.

Dr. Scheuerle asked Ms. Davidson "Since the Policy & Bylaws Committee took a reaffirming vote on the renaming of the meeting room,
does that mean that the Library Board needs to vote on that reaffirmation?” Ms. Davidson responded that it was not necessary since the
Board did not take any action just the Committee. Dr. Scheuerle made the motion that the Board reconsider the naming of the Robert W.
Saunders, Sr. Public Library meeting room in honor of Dr. Walter L. Smith. Mrs. Reeder seconded. Discussion followed. Dr. Scheuerle
restated the motion, that the Library Board reconsider the naming of the meeting room for Dr. Smith. The motion was defeated 7-2.
